Issue with twoside document and openright

Post by cheche »

Hi all,

After browsing the forum on this topic I have found similar cases but none have solved my issue.

Below is my document definition:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,twoside,openright]{report}
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
My chapters start on an odd page as expected. However, the first page of my document also starts on a left page (i.e. the larger of the margins is on the right hand side).

Is there anyway I get some predefined pages to open on the left and others to open on the right? Or have I missed something?

Thanks in advance for any help or to anyone who could point me to somewhere where this has been discussed.

Cheers

Without any additional settings it is quite normal that the outer margins are bigger than the inner ones.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Please excuse me as I am relatively new to the world of TeX. It just seems strange to have inner margins smaller for a book but I am probably wrong.
In any case, is there a way, or do you know where I could find how to, get predefined pages to open on the left and others to open on the right?

Thanks again!

But it is typographically correct. Details can be found in the KOMA Script manual and also in the memoir user guide.

Drop the openright option for the document class and work with commands like \clear(double)page
